Special themed rambles will give you an up-close and personal look at rarely-viewed private collections and homes, while lectures will provide the latest in decorative arts and material culture research.
Join us as we celebrate the decorative arts of South Carolina’s Midlands, where the Lowcountry and the Upstate collide. The conference will offer an unparalleled opportunity to get behind-the-scenes looks of local sites and exhibits, with a reception and conference sessions held in downtown Columbia, the Palmetto State’s capital city. Special themed rambles will give you an up-close and personal look at rarely-viewed private collections and homes, while lectures will provide the latest in decorative arts and material culture research. South Carolina’s decorative arts have never looked better–and now it is time to celebrate and enjoy the architecture, landscape, and material culture of the Midlands.
